Could it?

Today at the Missouri Ethics Commission:

C171291 09/04/2019 CL PAC David Steward PO Box 1724 Maryland Heights MO 63043 World Wide Technology, Inc. Executive 9/4/2019 $735,000.00

[emphasis added]

Okay.

Yesterday (technically, September 1st) it was $100,000.00 to the same PAC. Wouldn’t it have been easier to write a single check for $835,000.00? Just asking.

Previously:

Campaign Finance: $100,000.00 or so at a time (September 3, 2019)

We’re sensing a pattern here.

That ain’t the half of it.

Campaign Finance: “…Ash nazg thrakatulûk agh burzum-ishi krimpatul” (December 14, 2018)

Campaign Finance: Because no one else does? (February 4, 2019)

Campaign Finance: such an opportunity (February 23, 2019)

Campaign Finance: GNDN (June 19, 2019)

Campaign Finance: follow the dog (June 27, 2019)

Campaign Finance: a busy little PAC (July 1, 2019)

So far.

GNDN – “Goes nowhere, does nothing” – the label on access panels and Jefferies Tubes (access passageways, named after the set designer) on the set of the 1960s science fiction television series Star Trek.

No expenditures were listed in the April quarterly report. The PAC was established on January 29, 2019. A search for committee contributions via the MEC database came up blank.

And, before:

C190784 02/04/2019 Believe in Life and Liberty – BILL PAC David Steward PO BOX 1724 Maryland Heights MO 63043 World Wide Technology, Inc Executive 2/4/2019 $75,000.00

[emphasis added]

This PAC is sitting on around a quarter of a million dollars. It’ll be interesting to see who and what they eventually spend it on. Given their big dollar contributors we could probably make a good guess. For now the PAC goes nowhere and does nothing.
